On Dharma Productions’ 40th Anniversary, Karan Shares Emotional Note for Yash Johar

Johar, or KJo as he’s fondly known, recalled the first ever film produced under the banner of Dharma Production, Dostana. The film starred Zeenat Aman, Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha in the lead roles. To accompany his sentiments, he posted a nostalgic picture of a young Karan (probably in his teenage) clutching to the shoulders of his father as they both look into the camera.

The caption is written in way of conversation between Yash and Karan. He says 40 years ago on this very date, Dostana was the very first film to be released by Yash and thus starting a company which is so close to his heart.

He added, “All your tremendous karma is in every sunshine ray of @dharmamovies… all we have done is bask in the glory of your goodwill… we stand tall because of your teachings and pray every day that you are proud of all of us Papa (sic)!”

Karan went on to mention everyone who works hard on Dharma every day to spread cheer (through their films). He concluded the caption with, “We miss you …but we feel your hand on our head and that gives us the courage to combat and to create… I love you so much Papa…”
